About the role:
We’re seeking a Med/Psych Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) who thrives in a dynamic, collaborative environment and is eager to deliver high-quality care across both medical and behavioral health domains. The ideal candidate brings clinical expertise in primary care and psychiatric management—comfortable managing complex, comorbid patients in virtual settings.
As a Med-Psychiatric Advanced Practice Clinician, you will serve patients in our High Risk Advanced Behavioral Health Model in a BH-first model as their longitudinal provider with the primary goal of keeping our patients healthy at home.

You will work as a part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of supervising med-psychiatric physicians, behavioral health clinicians (LCSW/LPC), and health advocates who have BH expertise. With your team, you’ll provide longitudinal care and build trusted relationships with your patients—delivering care virtually and often facilitated by an in-home BH-trained health advocate. You’ll diagnose and manage chronic psychiatric and medical conditions, ensure evidence-based preventive care, address urgent needs, and identify and help overcome any barriers or obstacles to their health.
